Karthik, a resident of LB Nagar was near his friend’s shop at Vivekananda statue on Sunday and he spotted the stray dog with the severed head of an infant. He followed the dog, it dropped the head and went away.

He informed the police and a police team reached the spot. ACP K Purushotham Reddy said, "It is possible that the infant may have died during a premature delivery and may have not been properly buried. The stray dog which smelled the infant probably bit the head off and carried it around."
